Abstract: An internal-combustion engine valve gear has at least two adjacent stroke transmitting elements which, by way of a hydraulically displaceable coupling element, in a coupled position can be displaced with respect to one another and, in the uncoupled position, can be displaced independently of one another. The stroke transmitting elements interact with the cam of a camshaft having different cam paths which interact with different stroke courses with the stroke transmitting elements. In order to avoid undefined switching conditions in the operation of the internal-combustion engine and, during each switching operation have sufficient time for the displacement of the coupling element, this coupling element interacts with a locking element which locks and unlocks the coupling element as a function of the cam path.
